Auto-Caption Generator for Short Clips

Why You Should Use Auto-Captions

Short-form video content is the newest trend thanks to platforms like TikTok and YouTube shorts. They are powerful as people love watching short clips instead of long videos on YouTube.

That said, you can't just drag and drop regular videos into TikTok or Instagram Reels. You need to trim down your content and only stick to a few seconds highlighting the most fun and engaging parts.

It’s also better to add automatic captions or subtitles. These make it easier to follow along, even without audio. It improves the visuals and bridges the gap between the audio and the video.

LiveLink can auto-generate captions for your videos. It can also generate short clips from YouTube videos.

How LiveLink's Automatic Caption Generator Works

LiveLink uses AI to scan your video or YouTube link. It can then go through the audio files and create a transcript.

This transcript lines up perfectly with the video. So if someone in the video says something, LiveLink knows exactly when to line up the captions.

This means that LiveLink can generate large captions that sync up perfectly. You don't get any abrupt cuts, delays or long silences.

It keeps the captions in the frame and aligns them perfectly.

Customise Captions and Styling Options/Templates with LiveLink

But that’s not all. On top of adding auto-captions, you can also do things such as:

  • Editing the captions via the transcript
  • Customising the styling options (font size, colour, alignment, etc..)
  • Save these styles as brand templates and apply them instantly to any clip

Adjust the Styling Options For the Captions

Apart from customizing the text inside the captions, you can also adjust the styling options. These include things such as:

  • The option to display captions
  • Style of captions (single line, single word or multiple lines)
  • Position of the captions (middle, bottom and top)
  • Font, font size, and colour
